This reminds me. I need to get on with the model I've started of my Grandfather's 40ft motor torpedo boat, CMB1, lost with battle honours off zeebrugge on 20th June 1917 engaging 5 german destroyers with his single torpedo.
One of the first stepped hydroplanes, the CMB was designed by John Thorneycroft and was based on one of his pre-WWI racing boats, Miranda III.
I managed to obtain digitized copies of the original lines plans from the National Maritime museum archives. The hull and deck have been built in GRP to 1/24th scale (1 inch = 2 ft ), so the model is 20 inches long.
Good to see your Naval Architecture year one skills still put to use!
